[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] PCI: ABI change request for adding new field in rte_pci_id structure

[Ziye Yang]

From: Ziye <ziye.yang@intel.com>

The purpose of this patch is used to add a new field
"class" in rte_pci_id structure. The new class field includes
class_id, subcalss_id, programming interface of a pci device.
With this field, we can identify pci device by its class info,
which can be more flexible instead of probing the device by
vendor_id OR device_id OR subvendor_id OR subdevice_id.
For example, we can probe all nvme devices by class field, which
can be quite convenient.

Hi,

since this is new ABI change announcement, and not one that was previously
announced and is now being applied, this announcement should go in the 
deprecation.rst file, rather than release_16_04.rst.

Thomas, is there some reason why the deprecation notices are not called out in
the release notes for a new release? Why are they kept separately?

No strong reason.
It is part of the release notes but not in the versioned section.
Probably because there is no interest in keeping the history of planned
deprecations in the release notes. When the API/ABI is changed, the deprecation
notice is replaced by an entry in the versioned section.

It's better to use "doc:" as subject prefix, the others are good to go.

Yes.

The version-specific release notes ABI/API changes section is to be 
updated along with the actual changes to the code.

If you haven't already done so, do read
http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/contributing/versioning.html

Hi Panu,

" ABI breakage announcements go into doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst,
see the examples there. Also you can't break the ABI in the version under development but only the next one, so right now the earliest ABI breakage opportunity is in the release *after* 16.04, which is supposed to be 16.07 according to the roadmap."

So I only need to do the ABI breakage announcements  into doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst, right?

Thanks.

Ziye Yang

ABI breakage announcements go into doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst,
see the examples there. Also you can't break the ABI in the version under development but only the next one, so right now the earliest ABI breakage opportunity is in the release *after* 16.04, which is supposed to be 16.07 according to the roadmap.

ABI breakage announcements go into doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst, 
see the examples there. Also you can't break the ABI in the version 
under development but only the next one, so right now the earliest ABI 
breakage opportunity is in the release *after* 16.04, which is supposed 
to be 16.07 according to the roadmap.
